市中心的共享后院：南公园公共区
A Shared Backyard for Downtown: South Park Commons
洛杉矶市中心的大多数居民都放弃了私人开放空间，以享受重振城市中心的充满活力的城市体验。我们为南方公园公共区设计的设计强调了一个绿色简单的空间，让年轻人和老年人在一个共享的后院体验大自然的乐趣和想象力。这个占地四分之一英亩的公园的设计包括一系列独特的花园房间，因此游客可以在公园中找到各种休憩空间。它还允许社区享受共享的活动和节目，为小型表演、公园电影和阅读留出空间。公园南侧有一个餐厅露台，可在一天中的任何时候促进公园的社交和活动。
Most residents of Downtown Los Angeles trade away personal open space to enjoy the vibrant urban experiences of the revitalized city center. Our design for South Park Commons emphasizes a green and simple space for young and old to experience the delight and imagination of nature in a shared backyard. The design for this quarter-acre park includes a series of unique garden rooms so visitors can find a variety of spaces for respite in the park. It also allows for the community to enjoy shared activities and programs, with space for small performances, movies in the park, and readings. A restaurant terrace is situated on the south side of the park which promotes socializing and activating the park at all times of day.
公园内种植了50多种开花植物、草、灌木和树木。这些选择是一个强大的和有弹性的本地和适应植物的组合，带来的乐趣和季节性的兴趣，这个小城市的网站。进入公园和穿过公园的景观都是通过在围绕着场地的围栏围栏上倾斜鳍的方式，从不同的角度故意形成的。公园布局的动态性旨在通过融入吸收性几何图形促进社会化和亲密聚集。吸收性几何图形可以促进城市空间中的坐姿和与他人互动。整体座椅元素的雕塑形式在设计时考虑了舒适性和耐用性。一件名为Lucky Break的重要公共艺术作品在公园格兰德大道旁提供了一个标志性的入口。
Over 50 species of flowering plants, grasses, shrubs and trees have been planted in the park. These selections are a robust and resilient mix of native and adapted plants that bring enjoyment and seasonal interest to this small urban site. Views into the park and through the park have been intentionally framed from different approaches by angling the fins on the fence enclosure that surrounds the site. The dynamic nature of the park layout aims to promote socialization and intimate gathering by way of incorporating absorbent geometries – shapes that promote sitting and interacting with others in urban spaces. The sculptural forms of integrated seating elements were designed with comfort and durability in mind. A significant public art piece by Desire Obtain Cherish called Lucky Break provides an iconic gateway near the Grand Avenue side of the park.
